I think a more clear name for this would be "filesystem data structures" since the key idea is editing structured data through the filesystem. I can imagine a FUSE driver that can map many types of data to this structure.

Yes. That is indeed a more interesting name. But think of the acronym.

FDS is not as easy to say FAMF.
FAMF already has an Urban Dictionary entry.

Lol your second point is irrefutable, I must concede to the choice of FAMF 😹
